FACEBOOK and Wikipedia-style information sharing are being used by a Wrexham university to deliver one of its degrees to students in Spain.

Glyndwr University has just signed an agreement with the University of Mataro which will see students from the Spanish university study part of the institution’s BSc (Honours) Creative Media Computing course in their country.

More than 150 technology students from Mataro, near Barcelona, will be taught the final year of the programme.

Subject leader John Poulton said: “You rarely hear of a university taking their staff abroad to deliver one of their degrees so in that sense this is unique venture.”
